Time 10h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 corned beef brisket
1 quart apple juice
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
8 small red potatoes
2 medium carrots, pared, and cut into chunks
1 onion, peeled, and cut into eighths
1/2 head cabbage, cut into chunks

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a large crock pot (cut meat in half if necessary); stir to mix.
  • Cook on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours or on LOW for 8 to 10 hours.
  • Remove meat and vegetables and some of the cooking liquid.
  • Slice meat thinly across the grain.
  • Serve with vegetables and some of the liquid.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Corned Beef: Opt for a flat-cut corned beef brisket with a layer of fat on top to ensure tenderness and flavor.
  • Preparing the Corned Beef: If using a store-bought corned beef, soak it in cold water for 12-24 hours, changing the water every 6-8 hours. This helps remove excess salt and tenderizes the meat.
  • Using a Slow Cooker: Place the corned beef, apple slices, brown sugar, garlic, and peppercorns in a slow cooker. Fill it with water or broth, ensuring the liquid covers the meat. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours.
  • Adding Vegetables: Enhance the flavor of the dish by adding vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.
  • Baking the Corned Beef: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the corned beef, apples, brown sugar, garlic, and peppercorns in a baking dish. Add water or broth to cover the meat. Cover the dish and bake for 3-4 hours or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Serving the Corned Beef: Once the corned beef is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the cooking liquid, roasted vegetables, and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Apple and brown sugar corned beef is a classic dish that combines the rich flavors of corned beef, sweet apples, and caramelized brown sugar. Whether you choose to cook it in a slow cooker or the oven, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the tender texture of the corned beef, makes it a perfect meal for special occasions or a cozy weekend dinner.
